2. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when operating welding equipment. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in serious injury or death.

• Electric Shock Can Kill: Ensure proper grounding. Do not touch live electrical parts. Wear dry welding gloves and protective clothing.
• Fumes and Gases Can Be Hazardous: Work in a well-ventilated area. Use fume extraction if necessary. Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Arc Rays Can Burn Eyes and Skin: Wear a welding helmet with appropriate shade. Use protective clothing and gloves. Protect bystanders with welding screens.
• Fire and Explosion Hazard: Keep flammable materials away from the welding area. Have a fire extinguisher readily available. Do not weld on containers that have held combustibles.
• Hot Parts Can Cause Severe Burns: Allow welded materials to cool before handling. Use insulated gloves.
• Read the Entire Manual: Before operation, thoroughly read and understand all instructions and safety warnings in this manual.

3. Setup

Proper setup is crucial for safe and effective welding. Follow these steps to prepare your ANDELI TIG-250G PRO welder for operation.

3.1 Connecting the Remote Control TIG Torch

The TIG-250G PRO comes with an upgraded remote control TIG torch for enhanced parameter adjustment during welding.

1. Locate the gas-electric integrated connector on the TIG torch cable.
2. Connect this integrated connector to the corresponding port on the front panel of the welder. Ensure it is securely fastened.
3. Connect the two-core aviation plug adapter cable from the torch to the designated port on the welder's front panel.
4. Connect the ground clamp to the positive electrode terminal on the welder.

4. Operating Instructions

The TIG-250G PRO offers various welding modes and adjustable parameters for optimal performance across different materials and applications.

4.1 Control Panel Operations

The control panel allows selection of welding modes and adjustment of parameters. Use the main knob for current adjustment and other buttons for mode selection and fine-tuning.

• MMA Mode: For MMA (Manual Metal Arc) welding, simply adjust the current using the main knob.
• Clean Mode: Select 'Clean' mode for surface cleaning. 'C' gear (e.g., C5, C16) is for small, thin cleaning accessories, while 'H' gear (e.g., H5, H28) is for cleaning thick plates.
• TIG (Thermal Welding/Argon Arc Welding) Mode: Adjust current and after-flow settings.
• Cold Welding Mode: Adjust cold welding current, cold welding time, interval, and frequency.
• Pulse Mode: Long press the main knob to enter Pulse mode. This mode is ideal for precise control and reduced heat input.
• Electrode Diameter Selection: The machine allows selection of electrode diameter (e.g., d0.6 for 0.6mm plate spot weld, d1.0 for 1.0mm plate spot weld, L0.8 for 0.8mm plate drag weld, L1.5 for 1.5mm plate drag weld).
• Fast Switching: The machine supports fast switching between four channels for quick setup changes.

4.2 Remote Control TIG Torch Adjustment

The remote control TIG torch allows for real-time parameter adjustments, improving efficiency and control during welding.

• Use the + and - buttons on the torch handle to increase or decrease the welding current.
• Long press the M button to switch between different functions or modes directly from the torch.
• Short press the M button for parameter adjustment within the selected mode.

4.3 Welding Applications and Effects

The TIG-250G PRO is capable of welding various materials and achieving different welding effects:

• Cold Spot Welding: Ideal for thin materials like 0.8mm stainless steel, producing beautiful welding beads with no deformation or color change. Also effective for 1.5mm stainless steel for stable spot welding.
• Pulse Welding: For materials like 3mm stainless steel, pulse welding ensures a uniform welding bead.
• Cleaning Function: Effectively cleans the surface to expose the original shiny welding bead. Note: Cleaning solution (HCl 0.175-0.035%) must be purchased locally as it cannot be transported with the unit.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welding machine.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the welder and the TIG torch to remove dust and debris. Ensure ventilation grilles are clear for proper airflow.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables (power, ground, torch) for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Connections: Check all electrical connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Loose connections can lead to overheating and poor performance.
• Storage: Store the welder in a dry, clean environment away from excessive dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Cooling System: The welder features rapid heat dissipation with multi-grid design and automatic cooling. Ensure these vents are not obstructed.
